nuun Hydration Tabs, Have You Tried Them?

Sunday July 1, 2007
Maybe I should ask "Have you heard of them?"

I've tried a lot of hydration helpers: Gatorade, Powerade, Refresh, Accelerade, Trek, but none of them can beat nuun tabs for me. Why?

Because nuun has no sugar, no calories, no unnecessary ingredients. It tastes good (once you get used to it anyway), costs less (when you look at it per serving), and packs light. Basically, nuun is the healthy version of sports drinks.

And they've just gotten better: a new flavor, Kona Cola, has been introduced. Beware! Your first sip may surprise you if you expect a refreshing soda flavor. Everyone I know who has tried it has said that at first it tasted a little medicine-y but that after a few sips they got used to it and most even liked it. Personally, I think it's great! I have a cola substitute when I want a soda with my after-run meal. And it's not SO fantastic that I want to drink it all the time. Perfect!

My suggestion is that if you are a sports drink fan looking for a healthier alternative, try nuun. If you can't quit the sodas, try nuun.
